Higher Learning That Meets You Where You Are and Takes You Where You Want To Go

The Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) Brunswick University Center (BUC) offers a affordable higher education that makes a big impact on its students and the community. Students can complete associate degrees with day and evening classes. Program offerings also include college coursework for high school students through College Credit Plus.

BUC also offers programming for seniors. Encore Campus Fridays for Medina County residents ages 55 and older runs Sept. 22 through Nov. 3. Classes are scheduled Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. There are a dozen courses, including Healthy Aging, Women in Russian History and Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui. Registration opens in early August and can be completed online at www.tri-c.edu/encore or by calling 216-987-3075 and selecting Option 1.

New at BUC this fall are workforce training courses through Tri-C’s Manufacturing Technology Center of Excellence, as well as a dozen new career and professional development offerings ranging from soft skills to high-level technical training.

The Right Skills Now machining program will work directly with businesses to meet their needs for computer numerical control (CNC) machinists. e College is also collaborating with the Medina County Economic Development Corporation on a machining apprenticeship program that offers students complete credit classes at BUC followed by an apprenticeship with a Medina County employer.

Partnerships with Franklin University and Tiffin University allow students to move seamlessly from their associate degrees into four-year university coursework while staying close to home. Students can complete bachelor’s degrees in accounting, business and criminal justice on-site at BUC. Representatives from both universities maintain office hours at the center to meet with current and prospective students.

“For the past six years, we have given job seekers an affordable, convenient way to continue their education and make career changes,” said Terri Hradek, director of Brunswick University Center. “We see people restart careers, redefine their purpose and embark on new educational journeys every day.”

Hradek and her team ensure student success at BUC through a full array of support services available on-site, including admissions, testing and enrollment services; counseling; financial aid and scholarships; career services; tutoring; College Credit Plus advising; and veteran services.
